Pound Cake

"This is my own low-fat recipe and I often use cubes of it to make a wonderfully light blueberry trifle," writes Joyce Grasby from Rochester, New York. She also likes to spoon fresh or frozen fruit or berries over each slice for added flavor.

I love the fact that this is made with less butter and also that is is a smaller cake than the bundt pan size, which is too much for one person.Many thanks.

thankyou so much for this (there is a reason its called pound cake poeple) so a huge thankyou for us trying to live on the lighter path

Sorry but if one slice has 9g of fat and 5 of those are saturated fat, I don't consider this recipe very light. Of course I know it is "lighter" than regular pound cake so I guess a little lighter is better than nothing.

This could be considered "lighter" based on the size of the finished loaf (by using a smaller pan than the usual 9x5" loaf pan). You could also try lowering the calories by doing 1/2 C. regular sugar & 1/4 C. Splenda for baking.

I was wondering if anyone has tried substituting soy flour for all purpose flour and if so, how does this work for cake, cookies, brownies?

Most cakes freeze well.  I make bundt cakes & when they're cool, slice them into servings, wrap in plastic wrap & put in freezer bags.  Then thaw on the countertop.  They are just like fresh.  I even to this for cheesecake.

i am going to do it on weeked end

Cant wait to try it!!!!

Going to try it today. Sounds very good. LI

I love the taste of poundcake.

Can you use a butter sub. to lower the cholesterol?

Could you use Splenda to lower the amount of sugar?

Please, someone answer the above 2 questions!!! I would love to make this.

You can use almond flour for half your flour in this recipe but make sure to reduce the fat about a 1/4 cup to make up for all the fat in the almond flour. Good luck.
